So I guess the diary should include a history of phone numbers. And maybe addresses to be safe.

...And the IP you used to sign up... and the city for that IP in the geolocation database at that specific date... and the exact User Agent string... and the time zones... and...

Or maybe they should stop being idiots and allow people with strong passwords to... just use passwords to authenticate.

Maybe some type of "I know what I am doing, kindly fuck off Google" option.

This from the guy with all his passwords in a notebook in the desk drawer.. Have you thought of ROT13 encoding them?

Just do one-time recovery codes.
